In Monster Hunter Freedom, challengers take on a variety of quests and conquer larger than life beasts either alone or with the aid of others. Players start by customizing their own character, choosing the type of hair, face, voice and other various attributes their personalized monster hunter will possess.
You can explore a hub village where you can sign up for various challenges ranging from retrieving a valuable egg from the nest of a menacing dragon to hunting down powerful creatures and much more. Hunters can scavenge defeated monsters for food, collect bones for weapons and armor and even use pieces for decorative accessories. In addition, by completing objectives, players receive an array of rewards that allow them to upgrade their arsenal and equipment, readying them for even tougher battles.
Unlockables
Training school: After the level 2 missions are given by the town sage, and you've successfully completed the "The Great Jungle Kut-Ku" mission, you can access a training school to practice against the Kut-Ku with limited weapons, armor and items. After other monsters are defeated in missions, they will also become unlocked for practice.
Gameplay Hints
Pet pig: Near the beginning of the game, you will see a pig following a man around the village. Stroke it and music will play. As soon as the music stops, press X and the pig will become yours.
Easy money: Complete all level 1 quests. After this, talk to the man near your house. He is to the left of the south entrance. He will let you go to the Koto farm. Once there, do everything you can (mining, fishing etc.), then leave and sell the items you obtained. Then, go to the wise person but do not talk to him. Instead, look behind him. You will see a house. Try going in the offline hall. When you get there, you will see lots of things. Speak to the girl with the red dress in between the wise old man and the girl in the blue dress. Talk to her, and she will give you a list of quests. Go to the top and choose the easiest level. One of the missions will be a gathering mission, but nothing for you to gather. Choose it and start the quest. Go to the supply box and get Paw Print out of it. Deliver it to the other box and you will have completed the quest. Once you are back in town, go to the Koto farm and get more items. Sell them and repeat the process again. This is an easy way to make money, and is also a good way to help renovate
the Koto farm.
Complete all level 1 of the wise person. Select the last mission. You will need 200Z for the mission fee and one or two picks. Start the mission. Get the supplies and eat the meat to get more resistance. Follow this route 2 to 5. If you find an Gendrome here, kill it. Then go to 10 to 11. On 11 you will need to mine to get the crystal. Then, return from the same route. From 10 run straight to 5. Run in zigzags to 2 (walk or run). There is nothing here that can attack you (except for the Gendrome sometimes). At 1 deliver the crystal and you will get the 3000Z and 200 multiplied by 2Z of the fee.
Do the "Gathering" quest for Forest/Hills, where you just have to deliver the Paw Pass ticket in the supply box. In the supply box, grab your map and your Paw Pass Ticket. Go to Area 2. Search around the first rock you see on the left when entering from Area 1. You will get either a Kut-Ku Scale or a Paintberry. Just sell the Kut-Ku Scales for easy money.
Do the "Gathering" quest for Swamp in the Four Star guild quests, where you just have to deliver the Paw Pass Ticket in the supply box. Bring pickaxes. If you are bringing Iron, bring four because they will constantly keep breaking. To get good money, enter all the caves and mine all the areas. You can get ores such as Dragonite, Union, Machalite etc. Sell them or keep them for smithing.
At the start of the game, talk to the chief and get money. Then talk to the man and go to Kokoto farm. Complete the level 1 quests and the "A Formidable Velocidrome" quest. Then, get a Bonekris or Bonepick (recommended). Upgrade it to Bonespike and repeatedly kill Velocidromes. Make sure you also kill lots of Velocipreys. Carve up everything you killed. When you are back in the village, sell all the items you have then go to the farm. Get everything and sell it. The quest alone results in 1,100Z for doing it with one life. This is also a good way to get points to renovate the farm, and the Bonespike can kill a Velocidrome in a little under ten hits.
After you have completed the first quest, do it again. However, this time get ten Raw Meats. Deliver two meats to the box to complete the quest. Then, do the quest repeatedly without having to go to the dinosaurs to get meat. In three days it is possible to get over 20,000Z. The amounts of money may vary upon the length of playtime.
Have at least 3,000 Z. Go to the weapon smiths and get a Bone Blade. Keep improving it until you get a Vile Serpent Blade. Then, do the Formidable Velocidrome quest. Follow the Velocidrome wherever he moves. The sword will kill Velocipreys in one hit, and Velocidromes in six or seven blows to the head. Kill lots of Velocipreys. When you complete the quest, mine and sell your Velociprey items and things from the Kokoto Farm. Go to the Offline Hall and do the Velociprey Lords quest. Kill the Velocidromes and many Velocipreys. Be careful with the Rathalos in Area 3 though. You can get lots of money and equipment by doing this repeatedly.
Do any gathering quest, and bring a BBQ Spit. Make sure you have lots of meat and make ten Well Done Steaks (press X soon after the music). Go back to town and sell them all for an easy profit.
Easy items: Do the gathering quest for forest and hills from the guild. When you enter Zone 1, go down the hill turn to your right so that the cliff type landscape is on your right side. Go forward towards the water. You will see a pile of dung sitting on the ground in the corner. Go over to it and press Circle. You will get either dung, monster droppings, or a Kut-Ku scale. Use the dung and monster droppings to fertilize your field.
Deliver The Egg quest: Take out all the potions and rations. It is also helpful to bring some well-done steaks. Go to Area 2 and kill every Velocoprey that jumps in there. This may take awhile and require some potions. After you kill them, go to Area 3 then to Area 4. You will see a scene where the Ratholos swoops in. As soon as it quits, crouch down by pressing X. After that, walk slowly behind the nearest big rock and try to watch the Ratholos, but make sure he cannot see you. If done correctly and you keep out of his sight, he will fly off. Stand up and run for Area 5. When you get there, kill all the Velocoprey. There should only be four of them. After you enter an intermission sequence will show you where the nest is located. Once the Velocoprey are dead, go up to the nest.
Do not get the egg yet. Instead, eat all you rations or well-done steaks. Search the nest to find the egg. Note: Watch your stamina; if it goes all the way down you will break the egg. Also, if you are attacked or try to use an item the egg will fall and break. You should now have an easy way back to camp. Go to Area 4 then Area 3. Be careful, as Ratholos may be in any of these areas at any time. If you see him, run back to the previous area and wait for him to leave. Sometimes if you go back to Area 2 after the Velocoprey are killed, there will be one straggler. However, most of the time if you killed them all before you should be safe. Just watch out for the Vesipod. From Area 2 go to Area 1. Then go to the camp. Go to the delivery box and press Circle. You have now successfully delivered your first egg.
Killing Garuga: Bring 99 level2 bullets. There is a ledge that you can climb to attack the Garuga. It is the smaller ledge. The Garuga is too dumb to come up. All you need to do is keep shooting it in the head.. You will get 40,000 Z for winning.
Killing Kut-Ku: Get a Bowgun and level 2 (99) bullets. Keep shooting at its head until it falls. You will get a lot of money by completing this quest.
Killing Wyvens: It is best to have a sword and shield. Run up towards the Wyven and get underneath it. Start attacking it from underneath. They can not breath fire or spit things at you. However, watch out for rams, melee attacks and charges. This is properly the best way, apart from bowguns, to defeat them.
Quick armor: Complete the first five level 1 quests. You will then see a quest called "Your First Hunt" which involves killing three Velocoprey. Do it to get hides and items. Then, mine and do the quest and mine quest. Make Veloceprey armor from the ore and Veloceprey item. Note: You need to do the quest "Present For The Armor" twice to get Kelbi Hide for the armor.
Getting Kut-Ku Scales: In every Jungle quest that you do, go to Area 6 and jump up on the ledge. Walk next to the Wyvern egg nest, then search. You will find one to four Kut-Ku scales every time, which sell for 250 Z each. An easy way to do this is to go to the Offline Gathering Hall and repeatedly do the four star "Gathering-Jungle Zone" quest.
Getting Monster Bone : Clear "Attack Of The Kut-Ku", a four star quest at the guild. When you defeat it, you might get an item called Small Kut-Ku Ear. Sell everything from the Kut-Ku except the ear and start a gathering quest at the guild in the forest and hills. Go directly to Area 7 and find the short bald man. He will trade the Small Kut-Ku Ear for a Monster Bone . You can trade three times. There is a second, but more annoying way to get it. Take "The Storm Of Yian Kut-Ku" quest at the guild. It is also a four star quest. Kill at least ten and you should get six Monster Bone s.
Catching the Plesioth faster: First, unload Clust level 1, then six shots of Clust level 2 and do the same with Crag 1 and 2.
Veggie Elder tickets: Link up with someone, befriend them, and raise your friendship level to about 12 (not the heart-o-meter, but on the card it says lvl). Then, talk to the Hero's brother sitting at the reception. He will give you a Veggie Elder ticket. The better the friendship, the better the ticket.
Easy ore : Go to the Offline Gathering quest. Go to the four star gathering quest. Note: The gray areas on the map are mining points. You do not always have to do quests. You can go to the Kokoto farm to get a pick axe. Then go inside the gathering hall. Go to the woman nearest to the door. Note: There are two women in red outfits.
